Howson has conducted extensive research on race, ethnicity and gender disparities. He has more than 30 years of experience working with young people, families, communities and those who are said to be "hard to reach."

He thinks that making changes requires doing things differently. "The development of a Black perspectives' module has facilitated many students in finding their voices."

Heartfulness Meditation is a simple, practical technique that you can use alongside any other form of yoga, meditation or spiritual practice. In a few minutes, you will learn how to truly relax and feel the lightness and joy of your true nature. You don’t need to know how to meditate or to believe in a particular system or philosophy. The Heartfulness technique shows us to gently turn our attention towards our heart and experience that inner presence for ourselves.
